If you are knowledgable about camera equipment, there are a lot of articles that really need a lot of work! Thanks for the help. Good work elsewhere too, I see. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 14:22, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
If you do not like the tone of the article, you can of course edit it. The rest of us (who are watching the article) will judge whether it is a good edit, and change it further or revert as appropriate. Please add not comments at the foot of the page, not the top. If starting a new subject, click the "+" at the top, which dies this authomatically. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I've reverted your edit to National Police Memorial; the wording on the roll of honour is not "in the line of duty", but "in the execution of their duty". (The full text is "Police Officers of the United Kingdom Who have Lost their Lives In the Execution of their Duty As the result of Criminal Acts or In the Course of Effecting an Arrest or In the Performance of Acts of Gallantry or Other Hazardous Duty", but that's obviously too long for the infobox.) "Line of duty" and "Execution of duty" don't mean the same thing in this context; the memorial specifically does not commemorate officers killed in training accidents, road traffic accidents etc. — iridescent 22:04, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, instead of adding loads of {{fact}}s to an article such as here could you please use a template such as {{refimprove}} or {{refimprove-section}}? Having lots of [citation needed] tags makes it really difficult to read an article. Thanks Smartse (talk) 20:25, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your hard work on the superfund sites you recently edited. I know how tedious it can be entering data line after line, so I appreciate your edits. I especially like how you noticed that the maps have yellow for proposed and green for deleted, and added that to the tables. I just wish I knew how to create more of the maps for each page. I had one question for you. Do you think that the recent edit I did on the List of Superfund sites in Kansas is better than blanking the N/As? I only ask since it sort of serves as a placeholder showing that it was checked, and found to be null. In other words, it shows that the date isn't just lacking, but it does not exist. Let me know what you think, I'll look for a response here or the talk page for the Kansas sites. Cmcnicoll (talk) 23:21, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia and have noticed that your cleanup of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finlandia_Vodka was reversed to its initial PR spin. If I can help in any way, please tell how (I can restore but do not know how/where to properly reason the restore and report the intentional PR). Anyway IMO it would be nice(and better) from ya to do that. Thanks. Ihosama (talk) 11:05, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
Dricherby,
I saw your note. I'm puzzled as to why you would think I'd need extra reasoning behind my AFD's. WP:NOTDIR is policy, very much like WP:BLP is. When a BLP is nominated for deletion nothing else need be said exccept that it's BLP (yeah, I know,it needs to be looked at to be sure it really is BLP :)). Those articles violate NOTDIR in that they're lists, and NOTDIR is policy. When something is against policy, that , in and of itself is reason enough.
I'm not trying to be difficult, rather, I tend to be black and white when it comes to policy. You follow ? KoshVorlon. Angeli i demoni krushili nado mnoj... 19:50, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey! Thanks for your comment. I apologize for overabusing of the AfD process, as i know i've done. I have read the deletion policy and from the 8 articles i nominated yesterday, 4 of them are being voted for deletion. Also, another 5 articles of those i nominated were already considered and deleted. Notwithstanding, i'll take my time to furtherly understand the policy and to double-check the refs before proposing an article for AfD. To answer another little question, i love to patroll articles, that's the reason i nominated such a big amount of articles (i now i made mistakes i've already learned and still have to learn) and lately i've been fixing (and adding references to) them if i find the sources. Finally, i thank you again for your efforts on patrolling my behavior and taking a moment of your time to write me about them I really appreciate it. Regards. --Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 22:24, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
I laughed out loud at that. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 13:15, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your message. I re-added (in preview mode) a few blank lines between the last paragraph of Retirement and the commented-out section, and they do indeed show up on the page. Is this the intended behavior? Aednichols (talk) 17:55, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Removing a link can be considered fixing a disam page. I generally do it if it's a very common term. So it's not a "mistake". --User:Woohookitty Disamming fool! 09:49, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I reverted your recent changes to Liverpool because they replaced data that had a definite source with data that had no source (and, in one case, changed some data while still citing the same source). The changes you made look plausible but they do need to be sourced, especially in the lead section of a major article. On Wikipedia, a key policy is that even true material needs to be verifiable (i.e., backed up by sources) before it can be added. Other Wikipedia pages aren't acceptable sources but if other articles have sources the support the data you added, you can use those sources for the Liverpool article, too. Dricherby (talk) 07:51, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Dricherby, Regarding your comments: Ad 1. The title, I have looked for the right term in English before posting the article. The term bridge restaurant is used on the British website www.msatrivia.co.uk. Although you probably could defend Restaurantbridge, analogue to Italian:Ristoro a Ponte, as well. However I didn't invent this word myself.
Ad 2. I'll update the sources regarding the illinois Tollway oases, then it will stand until that website is changed again.
Ad 3. I had the intention to sort it from north to south as already done in other languages, after replacing the decimal coordinates.
Ad 4. I had the intention to create a complete list of bridge-restaurants world-wide. To complete the list I hope users add the ones in their one contries if needed. Complete, we'll never know for sure, because in the future new ones can be built or existing demolished. --JB63 (talk) 14:01, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
G'day from Oz; one of your edits has come up on my watchlist. I don't really care about hyphens and dashes one way or the other myself (I usually use the "minus" key on the keyboard 'cause it's easier), but I just want to point out that with regard to Boeing airliners the one that started it all, the Boeing 367-80 (the prototype for the 707), was nicknamed the "Dash Eighty"; and the de Havilland Canada DHC-7 and DHC-8 were officially named "Dash 7" and "Dash 8". Does that mean anything? Who knows? "Dash 7" certainly sounds better than "hyphen 7". Anyway, just an observation on my part. Cheers YSSYguy (talk) 12:20, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Dear Dricherby,
I see you've reverted my edit. In my opinion, the following is a tautology:
If a federation consists of subjects, then surely the subjects are its constituent entities, by definition of the word constituent? Qwertyus (talk) 09:49, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

File:Bs2.jpg I think can be fairused as a book cover, even though it's been "released" by the "author" - I wouldn't trust that release, but if it's true it confirms WP:COI suspicions. Barney the barney barney (talk) 20:25, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for standing up for the subject-specific notability guidelines, which, after all, relate back to WP:BIO in the end. I have just re-checked the indentation of your comments, and please forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn, but please don't dismiss aspects of the conversation relating to notability criteria as being "off-topic" - these points come up every time a first-class cricketer comes up for deletion - we're all too used to it now. I realize now you weren't referring to my comments, and I know I may be being slightly too bold in attempting to stand up for myself.
I absolutely don't mean this as a slight against you - just trying to protect my own foolishness. All the best. :) Bobo. 07:37, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi there! You may remember the deletion discussion for "Coal Miners in Hindi Fiction", in which there seemed to be a consensus that a broader article topic of "Mining in pop culture" would be notable and worth creating. I've started a draft at User:Atlantima/Mining in popular culture and thought you might be interested in helping me out. Currently I'm just dumping a bunch of references there but it's a start. Feel free to add to it!-- Atlantima ~✿~ (talk) 15:04, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

You should discuss consensus on the talk page. I won't revert it again until the 24-hours is up.
The Ulrich reference, which this edit back-and-fourth concerns, is out of date. The journal's direction has changed recently and the publication material no longer uses the term "peer-reviewed" to describe itself.

Looking at the edits that were made, there did not appear to be any substantive improvement, i.e. switching "among" for "amongst"? I took a look at both versions, before the recent edits and post-editing, and frankly, liked the earlier version better. 19:16, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
No need for specific revision deletion, I've just deleted the entire page history. Recreate it as blank or whatever you wish. Any problems just drop me a note. Stephen 11:59, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Most articles referenced in the list have images that could be added to the table. Also, by removing the side images and incorporating them into the table it expands the table and makes the description section easier to read. However, if you're troubled by it feel free to revert.Shinerunner (talk) 19:42, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to New Museums Site may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi. You may wish to have a look at and possibly comment at the sockpuppet investigation I have started at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/EtymAesthete, as I believe you had dealings with User:EtymAesthete and User:Brainiacal on the Boeing 727 article back in September 2013. --DAJF (talk) 06:20, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ballantyne Pier, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Captain Courageous (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
